Ringing flower oil has a healing effect on skin injuries and eczema. Here you can find out everything about using the oil and how you can make it yourself.
Ringing flower oil is obtained from the flowers of the marigold, also called Calendula. The marigold is a traditional medicinal plant. The oil extract of the marigold is also said to have a number of healing properties.
In this article you will find out how you can produce marigold oil yourself. You also get the most important information about its health -related effect.
Effect of marigold oil
The marigold has the following health -promoting properties:
- It has an anti -inflammatory effect.
- It accelerates wound healing processes.
- She can kill viruses and mushrooms.
- It looks antimicrobial.
These healing properties can also be found in the marigold oil obtained from the flower. It is particularly suitable for the treatment of skin injuries and skin diseases. If you apply calendula oil to affected skin areas, it can help with the following complaints:
- Skin and mucosal inflammation
- Small (fire) wounds
- Eczeme and rough, dry skin
Ringing flower oil: How to use it
Your skin is particularly well absorbed by marigold oil when it is well moistened. The best time for the application is therefore after showering when the skin is still slightly moist. Put one or two drops of the oil on the affected skin areas and carefully massage it.
Alternatively, you can moisten your fingertips with a little warm water, then put one or two drops of marigold oil on top and then rub the skin with the mixture that you want to maintain.
You can also massage the marigold oil directly into the affected skin areas.
How to manufacture marigold oil yourself
Ring flowers bloom from June to September. During this time you can harvest the flowers to produce ringflower oil yourself. For this you need:
- a screw -out glass
- 1 to 3 handful of marigold flowers
- Cold -pressed olive oil, sunflower oil or jojoba oil
- A brown (pharmacist) bottle
And this is how it works:
- First you should sterilize the screw glass. Cook it in hot water.
- Then put the marigold flowers in the glass and then fill it with the oil. All flowers should be covered with oil.
- Close the glass firmly with the lid and then leave it in a warm, dark place for about six weeks.
- Shake the mixture thoroughly every day.
- Finally, filter the finished marigold oil through a thin cloth into a brown bottle.
You should store the oil dark and cool. It can be kept for about a year.
Ringing flower oil: Good to know
You should only use ingredients in organic quality to produce marigold oil. You can avoid chemical-synthetic pesticides in your oil and impair its healing effect.
Tip: Even if you want to buy marigold oil, you should pay attention to organic quality. Ringing flower oil in its pure, essential shape is obtained through a special alcohol extraction process and is therefore much more expensive than the flowers pickled in carrier oil. However, both oils are attributed to healing properties in naturopathy.
